While meeting with the media for the final time before UK hosts Vanderbilt, the head coach said center Drake Jackson and left tackle Naasir Watkins are good to go after a successful week of practice.

Watkins will be used to spell E.J. Price. “He’ll be in a back up roll, but he’ll ready to go,” Stoops said.

Watkins missed the Texas A&M game after suffering a mild knee injury against South Carolina. Jackson played sparingly after injuring his groin in College Station. The bye week worked wonders for the Wildcats.
